Hiking for turns
April 25, 2010
I'm going to be in the valley this weekend and according to a friend who would know, OTW, the Drop and WL are still skiable from the top... I'm just going to havta hike for a few turns on Saturday just cuz
i can personally confirm said reports of great skiing still. the corn last weekend was creamy and smooth but firm underneath and perhaps better than the last weekend the lifts were running.
Did you hike for turns this weekend?
heck yeah! drop and off the wall are still top to bottom with good base. saturday early afternoon corn was awesome! sally is blown out for skiing up so save energy by hiking up the switchback atv trail between the drop and otw. it's a leisurely piece of cake and gets you up there fast.
the young guns are going crazy with their homemade park action too.

there should be some sweet corn to be harvested tomorrow with the low temps overnight and daytime warmup. and a special added bonus...there are big ramp patches on the lower part of the mtn between drop and otw to harvest also. corn and ramps harvest! be there..could be the last of the skiing from top to bottom on those runs after the weekend's wet outlook.
The Drop & OTW are still skiable, top to bottom. It's still early spring in the Valley. Temps in the 50's yesterday and there aren't any leaves on the trees yet. I did harvest some corn :), but I didn't find any ramps.
The Drop OTW
I saw a few Friday but the skiing is more about the up than the down. Got started about 1:45, beautiful day for a walk in the woods and some turns on the drop, yoyo'd that and back to the car in about two hours, dropped by the terrain park for a bit jacob and nick had a pretty nice kicker they were hitting. Where'd you park?
